Neo-Nazi arrested again, this time with rifles drawn in Glennwilde

A Glennwilde man identified by police as a neo-Nazi has been arrested for the second time in a week after cops aimed rifles at his house from the other side of a residential brick wall.

It was a drug bust, police told InMaricopa, at 61-year-old Ronald Stricklett’s home on Somerset Drive near Falcon Lane at about 3 p.m. Wednesday. His much younger female companion, Zoey Ray, 37, was also arrested in the bust.

Stricklett was out on bond Wednesday after an unrelated and somewhat bizarre Oct. 30 arrest (read all the details from that case here).

The apparent Aryan Brotherhood prison gang member has a criminal record longer than a State Route 347 traffic jam — burglary convictions in Southern California in the 1990s and more recently drugs, guns and contraband charges in Maricopa and Navajo Counties, among many, many others, including more than a dozen charges out of the city of Maricopa in just the last year.

Armed police officers scope out Ronald Stricklett’s Glennwilde home Nov. 6.

In this latest brush with the law, Maricopa Police Department lodged new dangerous drugs and narcotics charges against Stricklett — four of them — while Ray was arrested on a probation violation warrant.

Ray has been denied bond, according to MPD spokesperson Monica Williams. Their relationship is unknown.

According to Pinal County Superior and Justice Courts records, Ray, who appears to be from Fresno, Calif., has a lengthy history of drug abuse, theft, burglary and fraud. This was her 12th arrest in Pinal County since 2018.

Williams said MPD was serving a warrant, presumably Ray’s, when officers drew their rifles and positioned themselves on Alan Stevens Parkway behind a backyard wall at the Stricklett house. She did not specify why such a response was needed, noting that “it’s an ongoing investigation.”

Witnesses to the arrest had told InMaricopa yesterday they saw “rifles drawn” and a “guy in handcuffs.”

More information about this case will be reported once certain police documents are released.
